Jan Bemer
Robert Bemer was married twice to Betty. Their first marriage (Ft. Worth, TX) dated from 28Dec1983 to 15May1988 (divorced). Bob again married Betty (Phoenix, AZ) after his 15Jan1997 divorce from Laura Alexandria Perrault. I can't find the date of their second marriage (Phoenix, AZ) that ended when Bob died 22Jun2004. These marriages were genealogical dead ends.
